Step 1: Prepare the Batter

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 3: Add Food Coloring

• Divide the batter into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Mix until you achieve your desired color.

Step 4: Heat the Griddle

• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 5: Cook the Pancakes

• Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
• Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

• Stack the pancakes on a plate, and add your favorite toppings. Get creative with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate chips to make them extra festive!
